  • T and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong
    Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong By: Michael Audi, Kathryn Byorkman, Alison Couture, Suzanne Najem ZRH006 Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Kong Hong, Ltd. and The Harbour Business Forum On March 4, 2010 Submitted by: Submitted to: Michael Audi Paul Zimmerman Kathryn Byorkman Margaret Brooke Alison Couture Dr. Sujata Govada Suzanne Najem Roger Nissim Professor Robert Kinicki Professor Zhikun Hou ii | P a g e Abstract Though Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour is world-renowned, the harbor front districts are far from walkable. The WPI team surveyed 16 waterfront districts, four in-depth, assessing their walkability using a tool created by the research team and conducted preference surveys to understand the perceptions of Hong Kong pedestrians. Because pedestrians value the shortest, safest, least-crowded, and easiest to navigate routes, this study found that confusing routes, unsafe or indirect connections, and a lack of amenities detract from the walkability in Hong Kong. This report provides new data concerning the walkability in harbor front districts and a tool to measure it, along with recommendations for potential improvements. iii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsors Paul Zimmerman, Dr. Sujata Govada, Margaret Brooke, and Roger Nissim for their help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • SDC Paper No. 7/2020 Annex 2
    Annex 2 Sustainable Development of the Southern District Responses by Relevant Government Departments and Organisations (I) Response to enquiry (1) from the Transport and Housing Bureau To tie in with the redevelopment of Wah Fu, the actual implementation of the South Island Line (West) (SIL(W)) is subject to the actual programme for the development in the Wah Fu area and redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate as well as the build-up of transport demand. Besides, to implement the SIL(W), it is also necessary to free up space within Wah Fu Estate for railway construction, including Wah Fu Station proposed in the preliminary conceptual scheme of the SIL(W). The Transport and Housing Bureau invited the MTR Corporation Limited to submit a proposal for the SIL(W) in June 2019. In line with established procedures, prior to the finalisation of the railway scheme of SIL(W), we will consult the public, including the Legislative Council and the relevant District Councils, on the scheme. 1 (II) Response to enquiries (2) and (3) from the Transport Department Response to enquiry (2) Whether the Pok Fu Lam Moratorium will be lifted upon the completion of the proposed South Island Line (West) would depend on the traffic assessments in the Railway Development project on the traffic conditions in the Pok Fu Lam area. Response to enquiry (3) When there is a planning development, the project proponent shall conduct Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) to assess the traffic impact arising from the project. The TIA will assess the cumulative traffic impact arising from the existing, planned and committed developments within the study area, so that no adverse traffic impact will be caused by the proposed development.

  • TFHK/01/2021 on 17 May 2021
    Task Force on Harbourfront Developments on Hong Kong Island For discussion TFHK/01/2021 on 17 May 2021 Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to brief the Task Force on the latest architectural and landscaping design of the proposed Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor (IEC) (Boardwalk). The paper will also update the Task Force on the latest progress, works area requirements and proposed management arrangement of the Boardwalk. BACKGROUND 2. The proposed Boardwalk is a major harbourfront enhancement initiative on Hong Kong Island. Successful implementation of the proposed Boardwalk could set a role model for the forth-coming promenade projects, especially those coastal areas which cannot be developed into a promenade due to various reasons. 3. The proposed Boardwalk is approximately 2.2 kilometres (km) long and maintains a width of at least 10 metres (m) wide throughout and comprises a western and eastern section. The western section will run from Oil Street to Tong Shui Road (approximately 0.7 km long), while the eastern section will run from Tin Chiu Street to Hoi Yu Street (approximately 1.1 km long). These two sections will be connected by the North Point Promenade (approximately 0.4 km long). Upon completion, the proposed Boardwalk will connect the existing or planned promenade at Shek Tong Tsui in Western District and Aldrich Bay in Shau Kei Wan, providing a continuous promenade of some 12 km long for public enjoyment. 4. Both the Task Force and the Eastern District Council (EDC) have been closely engaged in the planning of the Boardwalk project over the past few years.
